change on hold for a least six months to give new members on board the opportunity to decide if the
name change is something they envision for this board. Brandon Cooper, Gary Petitidor, and Lis
Esquilin commented that waiting six months would be too long and that it would prevent the board
from moving forward. Also, they mentioned that this would not change the existing member's minds.
Jennifer Williams indicated that waiting for the new members to analyze the new vision and mission of
the board would be most appropriate. Brandon Cooper presented a suggestion memo describing an
overview of the boards new mission and vision (see attached). Due to the lack of agreeance within the
board, Mike suggested he would prepare recommendations to be presented to the Board of County
Commissioners. From the four proposals, the board would discuss and chose which recombination
best fit the new mission and vision of the Black Affairs Advisory Board. All members agreed.
